It's used as an expression of surprise, shock or awe. Another way of expressing surprise is "Holy ___!!"
I suppose the "Mother of God!" expression comes from the Hail Mary prayer: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners..." and so on.

It's probably used as an expletive to show that the speaker is shocked or surprised at something. So there's no actual 'meaning' as such.
